In sintesi

Very cold temperatures and no new snow will lead to a slow improvement in the Danger Ratings. Unfortunately ski quality is not likely to improve for some time.

    Reverse wind-loading has formed thin wind slabs on W through SE aspects. In some cases these slabs sit on layers of sun crust or surface hoar. The likelihood of triggering is highly variable, so use caution when choosing terrain features.
